Dear Sarah
I have the vanity to fancy
that on your reading table
& Sarah's & Anna's may already
be found copies of "Summer
on the Lakes" I therefore
send sets of the etchings
made by S. Clarke for the
book & wh came too late
to be put in the first
copies that were sold. I
had a few struck off for
myself to give my friends
& they can be put in just
as well after the book is
bound as before. The places
where they belong are marked
on the backs.
You see my "bark is worse
than my bite" I have not
been able to visit you
as I threatened, cant





you. Come here? I shall be
in Cambridge till 15th
Sept, your friend
though in [?]
Margaret F
